Faith dark arts and a coming of age This dark and mesmerising fable set on Tyneside in the mid-60s is based on the best-selling novel by author David Almond (winner of the Carnegie Medal and twice winner of the Whitbread Award). Fourteen year old altar boy Davie lives a normal life - football with his mate Geordie walks in the park with new girlfriend Maria - the only dark cloud on his horizon is 'Mouldy' the violent town bully. Then Stephen Rose comes to town. A reject from a seminary where not even the priests can cope with his strange influence Stephen quickly dominates his Aunt Crazy Mary Doonan turning her garden shed into a workshop where he makes amazing sculptures clay figures that if you believe hard enough he can even bring to life. Davie is captivated by this mysterious outsider and soon finds his life moving further and further from safe normality to a world where anything seems possible...
The premise of Rat is simple enough: when hard-drinking Hubert Flynn comes home late and bedraggled for the umpteenth time, he wakes up transformed into the rat he truly is. Flynn's family is upset and surprised, but somehow they recognise the appropriateness of this turn of events--Flynn's wife Conchita (Imelda Staunton) even takes a smug satisfaction in her husband's fate. When a writer arrives and offers to help Conchita write a bestselling book about this odd turn of events, she seizes on the opportunity to squeeze something positive from the man who's made her so miserable--and in the process, becomes a bit of a rat herself. Rat takes a little while to establish its comic tone, but once it settles into a kind of Irish magic realism, the deadpan reactions of the family becomes strikingly funny. For example, when Conchita takes the rat to visit Flynn's favourite tavern, one barfly blithely comments, "Still, all things considered, he's not looking so bad". Pete Postlethwaite plays Flynn in his brief time as a non-rat, and all the performances are excellent; particularly charming is Kerry Condon as Flynn's daughter, who desperately tries to preserve some sense of dignity for her altered dad. With its whimsical humour and sardonic streak, Rat is no doubt destined to become a cult favourite. Fans of Monty Python will appreciate the film's sly verbal wit. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com
